Criteria check

University entrance qualification

If you wish to study a Bachelor or Staatsexamen course, you will need a university entrance qualification, called a “Hochschulzugangsberechtigung”. These are educational certificates which prove that you are qualified to study at a German university - especially your school leaving certificate. Depending on your country of origin, several semesters of university studies in that country may additionally be required.

Preparatory course

I don’t know

If you are not sure whether you can take up your studies directly, if you need to attend a Studienkolleg first or even if you are not qualified to study in Germany at all, we will find out while processing your application. You should look into additional criteria now.

German language proficiency

In Germany, most courses are taught in German. Therefore, you need to show adequate proficiency in German.

Tip: If your German language proficiency is not sufficient yet, many universities offer a preparatory German language course. For more Information, please contact the university of your choice.
